NZ gets the new Dr Who series just a day after UK (Latest/Next UK TV Air Date: Saturday, 15 April 2017 at 7:20 pm )

In NZ it starts tomorrow (April 17th)

And... as lead in... They just aired a repeat of the last Christmas special, which is always a lead into a new series. The Special established "Nardole" as a new male companion who will also feature along with a standard female companion (albeit a black woman) in series 10

Preceded by a Christmas special in December 2016, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", the series is the third and final series starring Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor, the most recent incarnation of the Doctor, an alien Time Lord who travels through time and space in his TARDIS, which appears to be a British police box on the outside. In January 2017, Peter Capaldi announced he would be stepping down from the role after the tenth series. The series will introduce Pearl Mackie as Bill Potts, the Doctor's newest travelling companion, and will also feature Matt Lucas as Nardole, who appeared in the two previous Christmas specials.

Kinda covering all PC bases with TWO companions, on e male one female... an openly gay (actor) companion AND a black female companion

ETAThe 1st episode was OK ish (I wont post spoilers)From now on in NZ it's been moved back a day to be "same day as UK"(They seem to mean that we see it 7:30 pm on a Sunday, UK see it 7:20 pm Saturday, at which time it is Sunday 6:20 AM in NZ...so we actually see it aprox 13 hours after UK. The "Same day" is true since in NZ times it airs in UK our Sunday morning, and airs in NZ our Sunday evening)You probably need to be a Time Lord to follow all that

The "Welsh Revival" of Dr Who after it had been off air for several years was GREAT!!

Quote:

It originally ran from 1963 to 1989. The programme was relaunched in 2005, and since then has been produced in-house by BBC Wales in Cardiff

However... I have been getting increasing concerned with the liberal themes that have been introduced

SJWs seem to have infested the show's executive staff/writers.... with trendy PC themes sneaking in to scripts and the general set-up

I have noted before instances of the prevailing TRUMP DERANGEMENT (from UK people who know NOTHING about US politics really).. gratuitous comments which demonstate total ignorance.

I do often joke that the "Welsh guys" running the Dr Who show are drunk or on drugs, especially the writers, but I don't really believe that. It's MUCH more serious!! It's PANDERING to the loony left/liberal/globalist (communist) group-think that has taken over Europe.

Anyway... the LAST STRAW is (as if introducing gratuitous LGBT themes, and revisionist Black inclusion in history was not bad enough).... the next Dr will be........... A FRIGGIN' WOMAN!!!!!!!

They were already PUSHING IT when "The Master" (who has been killed off several times but keeps popping up) turned up yet again as... A WOMAN How the hell can a MASTER be a woman? Hints of Transgender propaganda themes in that quirk of the show)

The female actress playing the part of the new woman Dr Who, played a HORRIBLE character in the "Broadchurch" series(es).... I could not STAND the character, or the woman actress playing the part. I got the feeling that the real life actress was a "type" who did not have to actually act much to play a horrible SJW type character in those shows.Here she is as the new SJW Female Dr Who

Everything you need to know about the Doctor Who Christmas special 2017
